Yay! I love mountain biking and (don't tell Josef) I really love e-bikes. I can't wait to own one. And also, isn't loneliness confusing?

It’s so hard to escape loneliness! It causes the feeling that makes you unable to approach the people who will make you feel included! So grateful that Pedro drew me into his crowd of great emtb guys.

I suppose I should have one, but balance on a bike and my fear of crashing just don't mix. I'll keep on pounding the pavement and trails. You have fun, report back, and I'll enjoy your ride on paper.

Honestly the power IS a little scary. But it’s the equivalent of downhill skiing for me: riding the edge between terror and thrill.

Peter, you and your bike certainly covered a lot of ground in this essay.
